My Organic Makeup Routine

Before I was pregnant I always heard things like “you can’t wear makeup during pregnancy because it’s not good for the baby to consume the chemicals etc”. It was a relief that I consulted with the doctor and he said it’s practically safe to wear makeup during pregnancy, however there are some ingredients that should be avoided and perhaps it is better to wear organic products. So, after some research I found this organic brand Naturaglace from Japan and slowly I’d started to go organic, starting with makeup.

Naturaglace is made of 100% natural and organic ingredients. Their products do not contain synthetic surfactant, synthetic polymers, silicon, tar colorant, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances or mineral oils (harsh chemicals free). 
Below are the 4 organic cosmetic products that I use almost daily:

<Makeup Cream SPF30 PA ++>

This is an all in one base that helps adjust colour unevenness, it is made up of three different pearl powders that helps cover bumps and pores in the skin. Once blended, it gives you an instant glow. This cream is SPF30 PA++ so you don't have to worry about applying another layer of sunscreen.

Price: JPY 2800 + Tax

<Pure BB Cream SPF34 PA ++>

This is a moisturising BB cream as it speaks for it's name! It has a non-sticky texture that covers dullness and visible pores.  Comes in two shades - NB0 and NB1.

I purchased the darker shade NB1 for my skin tone. Usually I apply it with a brush and blend, the texture is a little thick but a little goes a long way and it finishes with a radiant look. The coverage is medium and also able to cover the redness around my nose.

Price: JPY 2800 + Tax

<Cheek Colour Cream>

 

Available in 3 shades PK, AP, CO. The shade I got is CO for Coral. I really like the creamy texture, it's easy to blend and buildable and gives a natural look.

Price: JPY 3200 + Tax

<Rouge Drop Lipstick>

Lastly, this Rouge Drop lipstick uses organic ingredients and has a sheer texture and glides on smoothly which is also quite moisturising.  Though it has a limited colour range, the colour I picked RD01 is suitable for day and night, it gives you a natural red as the red has a sense of transparency and I think this colour was perfect for me for normal daily use.

Price: JPY 3200 + Tax

To conclude, I’m very impressed with these organic makeup products and love their natural ingredients, it makes me feel safe using these products during pregnancy knowing that I'm not passing any harsh chemicals to the baby and even if I'm not pregnant I would continue to use organic products because it's gentler on the skin and why would one want to use harsh chemicals on your skin that are not only dangerous to your health but also rough on your skin?

All of Naturaglace products can be removed by just soap and water which is absolutely safe for sensitive skin or during pregnancy. They are also made in Japan and I purchased them in Okinawa, Japan.  However, they are also available in Hong Kong from BEYORG.

Mama to be :)

It's been awhile since I'd last updated my blog and yes, that's because I'm pregnant!! :)

Prior to my pregnancy I'd slowly switched my skin care products and cosmetics to organic products, because I believe that the lesser chemicals we put on our skin is better! And it is a good way to start to go natural.  

I'll soon be sharing the products that I've been using, it is suitable for everyone and not just for mom-to-be.......so stayed tuned!
